Why are my answers sometimes cut short...?

Why are my answers sometimes cut short on Yahoo Answers?

This happens quite frequently, even tho most of my answers are quite short.

I know I can edit them further, even after they are posted, but of course I cannot always remember what I wrote the first time. Does this happen to anyone else?

    That happened to me once when I put up a series of words separated only by slashes. The system read that as one very long word.

    If you put in a word that is too long, it will get truncated, as if it were a URL.

    It is usually cut short because it only gives you a certain amount of space to ask a question.... that's probably one reason why. The next reason is probably because Yahoo! Answers might have some technical diffuculties and it's running bad. That's all I got.

    It`s true, YA is the ultimate B O L L O C K S! You either get your problem, or the YA 'team' decide you are in violation of whatever they can dream up!
